Very glad I came home, but highly recommend not making a habit of going to funerals if it's an option 🌍

Gonna be real honest, as someone who lived at home for 6 months when they were 28, YUP. That's the better choice. 👏👏👏

Another Christmas done. Food was eaten, wine was drunk, games were played, fights were had, new babies (well baby) were introduced, and everyone it seems ended up on Instagram at 3 in the morning when they couldn't sleep. It was what it was 🤷🏻‍♀️ And now home to NL for thai ta…

When I sat my first bar exam, 7 yrs ago in Albany NY, there was a father and son in my bed n breakfast (no Airbnb's back then) who were doing the exam together. Like...the father was doing it "for fun"/cos he had a weird competitive vibe with his poor 25 year old son and he…

other people's courgetti is so much better than mine, which makes me both annoyed - because what the fuck man, why is MINE always a big watery clump of sog - and hopeful, because it makes me think maaaaybe courgetti isn't a fucking con after all, and maybe I should give it a…

💜 my new @mandukayoga mat arrived 💜 I guess after 6 years and a fairly regular home practice, I can probably admit to myself - and instagram 😱 - that I do yoga. (But note, I also take anti-depressants and self-medicate fairly regularly. So I am one of those people, but I'm …

The mist drifted in and out of the harbour while we drank beer and looked out at the view from the window seat in a cozy pub, and it was all very Sunday-ish and gezellig.

I almost don't want to say this out loud in case I singlehandedly cause Kyiv to be flooded with tourists who push the prices up and the quality of the food down, but I think it may be my favourite city yet.

15 hour stop at home in NL before heading off again. So grateful for all my privilege that allows me to travel blah blah blah but also, this is exhausting.
Was listening to an interview this morning with @callimachir (of Caliphate podcast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) in which she mentioned …

It's been emotional 😑 (but for real). Anyway, Spain, we're done. Next stop, Kiev!

Spent about an hour today in a state of paralysis trying to figure out if I should take 1.5, 2, or 2.5 days of annual leave (to which I am entitled) to go to London for career stuff. 》 1.5 days = less time away from the office (pro) but terrible flights + exhaustion for the …

Face of woman who passes bar exams like it's her JOB. It is my job. Nevermind.
Went out to celebrate on my own because hey, you die alone and you sit exams on your own so you might as well celebrate passing them on your own (with a pack of cigarettes of which you will smoke…
